Supported Versions of Solaris and Sun Java Enterprise System Software and System Firmware

The following are the minimum supported versions of firmware and software for this release of the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers:

■ Solaris 10 8/07 Operating System (OS)

■ Sun Java Enterprise System 5 software (Sun Java ES 5)

2 SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Product Notes • October 2007

■ System firmware 7.0.3, which includes Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 2.0

software, OpenBoot™ 4.27.0 firmware, and Hypervisor software.

Updating System Firmware

The system firmware includes Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) software, OpenBoot firmware, and Hypervisor software.

Firmware updates are available from the following web site through patch releases.

http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com

For details on how to update your system firmware, refer to the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Installation Guide. For more details on the flashupdate command, refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager 2.0 (ILOM 2.0) Supplement for SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers.

Note – Updating your system firmware also updates your ILOM software and

OpenBoot firmware.

Preinstalled and Preloaded Software

This section lists and describes the preinstalled and preloaded software on your server. The preinstalled software is ready to use. The preloaded software must first be installed from the preloaded location.

Note – The Solaris OS is preinstalled both in root disk Slice 0 for normal operations,

and in Slice 3 along with Live Upgrade software to provide an Alternate Boot Environment (ABE). The ABE allows upgrading the OS or performing system maintenance tasks without reducing performance. Just the core OS is installed for an ABE in Slice 3.

Note – Of the following software, the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers

support Solaris OS only.

Cool Tools for Servers With CoolThreads Technology

Cool Tools provide a collection of freely available tools designed to enable fast and efficient development and deployment of optimally configured software solutions on CoolThreads™ servers.

These tools significantly improve performance and time-to-market for applications running on UltraSPARC® processor-based servers.

An overview of the Cool Tools and full documentation is available at the following URL:

4 SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Product Notes • October 2007

http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/overview/cooltools.jsp

Not all of the Cool Tools listed on the Cool Tools web page are available on your server. The following are not included:

■ Consolidation Tool

■ Cooltst

■ Sun Application Porting Assistant

Note – The Cool Tools GCC compiler and Corestat tools are preinstalled. The

CoolTuner and Cool Stack software is preloaded and must be installed from the preloaded location before using. See TABLE 1 and TABLE 2.

Logical Domains

Using Logical Domains (LDoms) increases your server usage, efficiency, and return on investment, and also reduces your server footprint. The LDoms Manager software creates and manages logical domains, and maps logical domains to physical resources.

Note – The LDoms MIB must be configured before it is ready to use. A README

file with configuration instructions is located in the LDoms MIB installation directory, /opt/ldoms_mib.

For more information on LDoms, go to:

http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/ldoms/

Sun Java Enterprise Server and Solaris OS

The Sun Java Enterprise Server is a comprehensive set of software and lifecycle services that make the most of your software investment.

For an overview and documentation, go to:

http://www.sun.com/service/javaes/index.xml

Important Information About the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers 5

Solaris Live Upgrade

Solaris Live Upgrade technology significantly reduces service outage during an OS upgrade. This technology enables the Solaris OS to run normally during an upgrade or normal maintenance on an inactive boot environment.

Your server is configured with a liveupgrade partition on slice 3 that contains an exact duplicate of the Solaris OS that is preinstalled in the root partition. This liveupgrade partition is an Alternate Boot Environment (ABE).

For more information about Solaris Live Upgrade, go to:

http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/liveupgrade/

Sun Studio - C, C++ & Fortran Compilers and Tools

Sun Studio delivers high performance by optimizing C, C++, and Fortran compilers for the Solaris OS on multi-core systems.

Note – Before contacting support, ensure that all mandatory patches are installed on

your server. In addition to applying the periodic PTF, check the above web site on a regular basis for the availability of new patches.

To determine if a patch is present, see “To Download Patches” on page 7.

Note – These patches might not be included in some versions of the preinstalled or

preloaded software on your server. If the patches are missing from your server, download them as described in “To Download Patches” on page 7.

▼ To Download Patches

1. Determine whether the patches have been installed on your system.

For example, using the showrev command, type the following for each patch number:

# showrev -p | grep "Patch: 119578"

■ If you see patch information listed for the queried patch, and the dash extension

(the last two digits) matches or exceeds the required version, your system has the proper patches already installed and no further action is required.

Important Information About the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers 7

For example, if patch 119578-16 or later is installed, your system has the required version of this patch.

■ If you do not see patch information listed for the queried patch, or if the dash

extension precedes the required version, go to Step 2. For example, if no version of the 119578 patch, or a version with an extension of

-15 or earlier is installed, you must download and install the new patch.

2. Access the above-mentioned web site to download the patches.

3. Follow the installation instructions provided in a specific patch’s README file.

Patches for Option Cards

If you add option cards to your server, refer to the documentation and README files for each card to determine if additional patches are needed.

General Functionality Issues and Limitations

This section describes general issues known to exist at this release of the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers.

Cryptographic Function

The SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers currently don't support the cryptographic function mounted on the UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor.

RAID Function

A hardware RAID function is provided as standard in SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers. However, with regard to data protection, reliability, and serviceability, Fujitsu Siemens Computers does not support this function.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers recommends use of software RAID functions for internal disks as specified below:
